Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MEMORIAL bench dedicated to a young woman who was brutally murdered has been unveiled in her hometown. Phoenix Spencer-Horn, 21, was attacked in a flat she shared with Ewan Methven in East Kilbride, Lanarkshire. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 The memorial bench dedicated to the life of Phoenix Spencer-Horn 3 Phoenix Spencer-Horn was murdered in East Kilbride 3 Ewan Methven was jailed for life He admitted murder and attempting to defeat the ends of justice and was jailed for life with a minimum of 23 years at the High Court in Glasgow. After her tragic death, local craftspeople in Strathaven created a lasting memorial to Phoenix. The specially designed wooden bench has now been placed in the grounds of the Strathaven Hotel where she had been a much-loved colleague and friend. An inscription along the bench reads: "Phe, the girl with the stunning smile. 21 'forever young'." A side panel features the line 'thunder only happens when it's raining' in a nod to Dreams, her favourite song by Fleetwood Mac while the other side has her date of birth and the day she died. The words 'love you, bye' are also carved on the bench inside the outline of a red love heart. One local said: "It's such a lovely memorial to such a special person. "What happened to Phoenix was absolutely horrific and left many people shocked but the bench commemorates her life which was so cruelly cut short. "She loved working in the hotel and was very popular with the customers so it's appropriate the bench will be sitting in the gardens for many years to come. "Phoenix will never be forgotten by the people of Strathaven." Evil killer butchered girlfriend before severing head & trying to dismember her at Scots flat We told how monster boyfriend Methven strangled and stabbed Phoenix then severed her head at their flat last November. A group of her friends and colleagues are set to take part in the Kiltwalk to raise money for Glasgow Women's Aid in her memory. The 20 mile challenge will take place in September and the group, dubbed Phe's Angel Fighters, have already raised more than £6,100. Glasgow Women's Aid said: "We cannot express our gratitude enough for this. "The money raised will help us to continue to help women and girls in abusive relationships and prevent the loss of other young women to male violence." Methven, 27, choked Phoenix before severing her head and trying to remove her limbs and torso from her body in November last year. He earlier complained her waitress shifts at the Strathaven Hotel made him 'lonely'. Her devastated mum Alison Spencer said her family had been left 'shattered' and would remain 'broken forever' over their loss.

‘Rat in the camp' may have tipped off shooter who executed gangsters Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jr
Insiders said gang bosses are certain someone trusted tipped off the gunman 'INSIDER TIP' 'Rat in the camp' may have tipped off shooter who executed gangsters Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jr Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A LATE change of plans in the hours before Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr were killed has raised suspicions of a 'rat in the camp' who helped orchestrate their murders. A masked assassin shot dead the Lyons clan chiefs after they watched the Champions League Final in Monaghan's bar, Fuengirola on May 31. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The pair were gunned down after watching the Champions League Final in Fuengirola on May 31 2 The attack happened inside Monaghans Bar in the Costa Del Sol We previously told how there were fears among the Lyons crew a traitor had leaked inside info to the shooter. Insiders said gang bosses are certain someone trusted tipped off the gunman just hours before the Mafia-style hit at a pub packed with holidaymakers in Fuengirola, Spain. Sources revealed the hunt was on to 'find who betrayed them to the guys who killed them.' And now former detective Gerry Gallagher has given his take on the potential dynamics of the calculated assassination plot. He says: 'There are several possible scenarios there. 'Logic dictates that if your name is above a bar and there's a long-anticipated sporting event playing on the television, there's a very good chance that it will draw a crowd. 'The other scenario is possibly that one or both males had been placed under surveillance, and the perpetrator was aware of where they would be and that they would be in a vulnerable situation. 'There's another possibility that the person who carried out the murders had received inside information that they would be there and exploited that.' We told how Spanish police believe the killing was a targeted gangland hit linked to the decades-long conflict between the Daniels and Lyons mobs. According to Spanish police, the assassin escaped by running across train tracks and through a tunnel to avoid CCTV cameras. Execution of gangsters Ross Monaghan & Eddie Lyons Jnr in Spain WAS linked to Scots turf war, senior cops claim Investigators are now pursuing multiple lines of enquiry, including whether there was involvement of individuals connected to the Daniels crew. The alleged hitman accused of killing the pair won't face an extradition hearing until November - five months after his arrest. Michael Riley, 44, is charged with the murders of the underworld figures at Monaghan's Bar in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol, on May 31. Authorities in Spain want him sent there to face criminal proceedings. Riley, of Huyton, Liverpool, was arrested by Merseyside police on June 13 under an international arrest warrant issued by the Spanish authorities. His extradition hearing was due to take place on October 9 at Westminster Magistrates Court, but it will now be heard on November 20.
